Alice Springs
In the heart of the Australian continent and the Red Centre lies Alice Springs, a stunning outback filled with red sands, desert landscapes, gaping gorges, and vintage buildings. Embark on a Kings Canyon & Outback Panoramas Tour for spectacular views.
Brave the rocky climb at Canyon Rim or take the easier path by strolling along King's Creek Walk leading to the canyon floor. But a trip to Alice Springs won't be complete without visiting Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock. Estimated to be about 600 million years old, the massive sandstone formation has become one of Australia's most iconic landmarks and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
